Much can be done to help people who are going abroad and even when they get there. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade provides support when a problem arises when a person is abroad. I know that because I have engaged with it on such matters. However, we need to be more proactive.

I thank the witnesses for highlighting the issue in a sensible manner, which we will take on as a committee. Perhaps we could look at organising more experience abroad as part of the youth guarantee as long as that is done in a structured way.
